Puppy Urns

I was asked by a coworker to build some boxes to contain the ashes of their 2 beloved dogs, Teak and Ciga, that sadly died within a short time of one another.I gladly accepted the project and worked with them to come up with this design.

The wood is Teak Alowood (if your not familiar with alowood, look here.)

Each box has the dogs pawprint in the side, and Ciga’s has her tag on the front.The large front area is for the owners favorite picture of their dogs.

My coworker was very happy with them and now sit proudly on her mantle.

Thanks everyone. woodnut, the entire box lifts off the base. No hinges. The base just attaches with #4 screws countersunk in the bottom.This way they could put the remains and notes in themselves and then just screw the bottom on and it still looks perfectly finished. The trim on the bottom overlaps the sides by about 1/8” to hide the seam.Hope that makes sense.
